Prep notes
Thin, bitter-green Mediterranean spears. A little more iron than garden asparagus, similar folate. Snap above the woody base. Cook — raw is stringy. Usually prepared before eating. Per 100 g figures match this catalogue row.
Season
Often seasonal where grown; year-round when imported or stored.
Caution
Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
